Dos Jefes Cigar Bar is one of the those rare places that feels like it has been there forever. This…read moreis a friendly Uptown cigar lounge and has an authentic Havana feel to it. Service is welcoming to all from first time visitors to seasoned cigar aficionados. The full bar is excellent and the cigar case selection is exceptional! Just don't open the case yourself as the large sign says or you will scolded, lol. Really you will. Dos Jefes's atmosphere is the real gem. Dark, lush and smokey surroundings make for a perfect setting to unwind and take in the Cuban-inspired bric-a-brac that surrounds the walls. If you're a true cigar maven like me, this is your kind of place. What really makes Dos Jefes special is it's soul. Night after night, talented musicians fill the room with incredible live performances, giving the lounge an energy that's impossible to fake -- be sure to tip the musicians well as they're is no cover charge for the music. Add in the pool table tucked away in the back, a relaxing out door patio in the back (on not so humid nights), and probably the best cigar selection around, and you have a destination that's much more than a cigar bar. It's an Uptown institution and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great cigars, live music, and genuine hospitality.

We've been here several times and every time I order the jerk wings and fries. I always add the jerk spice to my fries too. I ordered the chargrilled oysters once and was not impressed. :-( The atmosphere is great although we've had a couple of "straight face, not so happy to serve" bartenders. We always have a good time tho be it relaxing, smoking, and listening to the DJ or watching a game on the big screens. There's a new location that I find a lot better and The wings there are made with love (much more flavorful). Ha!! The bartenders and servers are nicer there also. The heating outside there is better. I like it...all they're missing at that one is the DJ. Lol Not sure that I'm helping anyone here but All in All...it's a really nice chill spot and we're Gonna continue to go.

This bar is way out of the way if you are in downtown NOLA. We went out there on a whim. It was a…read moreThursday night and the place had a few dozen people in it. The space is fairly large and it has a great outdoor patio. Being a hot time of the year, they have several very large fans outdoors that do a good job of cooling things down. Don Villavaso is a bar and cigar lounge. I'm not really a smoker. But after a few cocktails, I walked into their humidor. I was followed quickly by their cigar manager. I explained I was a lightweight, but all of the action was out on the patio where they allow smoking. He showed me around, gave me ideas on what to choose and why, and then I did end up buying one. My wife and I went out to the patio and sat on very comfortable couches, being cooled by the fans. Was the cigar any good? I really can't say. It tasted like a cigar to me. The servers and patrons were friendly. Clearly, this is a neighborhood bar and everyone seemed to know each other. We were warmly accepted by everyone which made the experience even better.

New Orleans Famous Sandpiper Lounge on Louisiana Avenue. Food, folks & fun!!!…read more This local "hole in the wall" bar is a favorite of the locals from uptown. This bar has been featured in many Louisiana based short films & movies. Not your average bar. Well average in a sense, but not 'average' average. Here are some reasons I say so: *Food on the median/neutral ground AND in the lot adjacent to the bar (trust me, you need food to "soak up" some of that liquor). *The bar IS NOT prone to many bar fights/brawls. *The average age of the bar attenders is roughly mid 30s. I say average because some are under 30, but most are 30++++. *Uniformed security officers are posted up outside the bar, like I said, this is not your average bar sighting, but its a welcome one. Hours of operation vary, I've passed here at 5am on occasion & have seen people STILL drinking & partying. Parking is available on the busy Louisiana Avenue street & in the neighborhood. All in All for the longstanding presence in the community, the Sandpiper is a keeper.

But since I was invited, I figured it wouldn't be too bad. When I walked through the door, I saw every head turn to look at us. But they all went back to their drinks once their curiosity was satisfied with who was coming through the door. This is a very basic bar. No ginger ale, though the bartender offered to mix coke and sprite for us. No diet coke. And my friend braved to ask, "Do you have bitters?" I rolled my eyes for the bartender. They have an odd assortment of liquors, lots of Ciroc vodka varieties, some whiskeys, some other odds and ends of gin, and rum. I really like that they have what's called a "set-up." Its a small pint bottle of what ever liquor you want, a bowl of ice, and one mixer. We ordered a bottle of Ciroc coconut, pineapple juice and ice. We sat down and got to pour our own drinks. Its almost like bottle service, but not. Its like we were being fancy, but we certainly were not. They have a backyard area that's sometimes open. Sometimes they have a band back there, sometimes they have crawfish there. Would I come back? Maybe. Pro-tip: Order a set-up because they only have one bartender, so getting your individual drinks will take some time. And if you're going to be drinking the same thing all night, then you might as well set yourself up for the night.
